Cooking method
To make cheese at home, you need to pour cream into a saucepan and heat it to 75 degrees (until the first bubbles appear). Dilute citric acid with 1 teaspoon of water and add to the cream. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring continuously, over very low heat.
The colander installed on the pan is lined with a linen towel. We pour our cream here. Now it is necessary, stirring the mass in a colander periodically with a spoon, to allow the serum to drain. About one and a half to two hours. Transfer the remaining mass to a separate container and refrigerate until thickened. About a day.
The output should be about half a kilogram of cheese. A little less.
To get a denser consistency, the "bag" with cheese is suspended for a while so that the remains of the whey "accumulate", and the rest is put in the refrigerator, in a bag, putting pressure on for eight hours. Accordingly, the yield of cheese is less, but the density is greater.
